1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

There is a growing interest to study cerebellar contributions to aging outside of traditional sensory processing and motor tasks. While cerebellar aging analyses typically utilize functional connectivity (FC) to study functional differences with age, this study aimed to identify a marker of healthy aging based on resting state blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal dynamics in the cerebellum. To do this, we investigated both Amplitude of Low Frequency Fluctuations (ALFF) and fractional ALFF (fALFF), semi-quantitative metrics of the strength of the BOLD signal. We found that fALFF is a highly repeatable metric of cerebellar function that demonstrates a significant increase in BOLD signal fluctuations at 0.008-0.1 Hz in cerebellar regions Crus I and II with aging. Furthermore, cerebellar fALFF of these regions was associated with FC to cortical regions across separate scanning sessions. These results highlight age-related differences in spontaneous cerebellar dynamics, particularly in regions tied to the frontal cortex, motivating the use of fALFF as a potential biomarker of healthy aging and motivate the need to incorporate the cerebellum in existing models of brain network changes with age.
